I believe my strength as a team member was to first being collaborative and providing timely work. This is the first time we have collaborated for the assignment and it was really a good experience for me. Other strength that I felt was to be a motivator as our team leader had time constrained so the work was delaying but I was among with other members to motivate her so that it would minimally help to reduce her stress. I also had provided suggestions to the team leader about some references and some part of the assignment.
